Description

General Description:In some instances, my Registration ID is blank/null. These instances include:

1. When I do a "Help -> About" in XILINX applications, it reports that myRegistration ID is blank/null.

2. During a Service Pack Install, I receive a warning about a null Registration ID.

What does this mean, and what should I do about it?

Solution

The Registration ID is typically held in the fileset.txt file that exists in the root ofthe $XILINX tree. (This is where the Xilinx software was installed.) In some cases,however, this line might not have been written.

HP users will not have a Registration_ID line, and should add it manually.If Solaris users do not have such a line, you should also add it manually.

The 'XXXXXXXXXXXX' number is the Registration ID you received when you registered your Xilinx Software.

The Service Pack Installer could not find this line, it may have added it foryou. In this case, the line Registration_ID=nullcould exist. Although this will not cause problems, we suggest you add yourRegistration ID manually. To do this, edit this file and replace "null" with your 12-digit registration ID. (Do not include dashes.)

Additionally, any warning messages relating to this issue can safely be ignored.
